22 GENERAL INFORMATION Commencement Honors.-A student who wins eighty per cent of the maximum number of merit points obtainable in his course will be graduated cum laude, "with praise"; one who wins ninety per cent of the maximum number obtainable in his course, will be graduated magna cum laude, "with great praise", and one who wins the maximum number obtainable in his course, will be graduated summa cum laude, "with the highest praise." The maximum number of merit points obtainable in any course is three times the number of credits or semester– hours required for graduation in that course. Honor Society .-In 1920 an honor society, called the Cedarville College Crown Club, was established, to which members are elected by the faculty on the basis of excellence in scholarship. (1) A Junior or Senior who for two semesters, not necessarily consecutive, has acquired a grade of A in all of his studies may be elected to membership in this society. (2) One who in four semesters has obtained not more than one grade of B in each semester, all other grades being A, may be elected to membership. (3) A student may be elected to membership upon graduation after a full four-years' course, provided he has no grade below B and three-fourths of his grades are A. (4) Students who have taken part of their college course in other institutions are eligible to the society by either of the first two standards given above, but not by the third. Upon election to this society the student is presented with a gold pin in the design of a crown similar to that in the seal of the College, and bearing the letters C. C. C. C.
